When I first started running 10 years ago, Running shoes with mostly "White" fabric was the norm. And I was in that frame of mind that my running shoes had to be mostly white, pristine and clean, I was a stickler for washing them if they got the least spot of dirt... Yea I know. And when all these vibrant colors came into the scene... I didn't like them at first, What? why... where is my white running shoes?... You know what, Now I have become style freak, LoL! So my shoes have to match my outfits...it mostly a color coordination, I mean most runners who step up to the starting line or go out on a run... could care less whether their shoes are Purple, green or Red and their clothes anything close to matching. Wow, what have I turned into, Geesh! heheheha. butI found myself to day, in search of my Color coordinating... I have a pair of pink addidas adizero's , Yellowish, blue Green Sacony Shadow Genesis and Asic's . Gel Forte's. Now all I need is a shoe that is mostly a bright Blue or something, not sure on the Brand yet...but I'm shopping still. Since I wear those colors in my clothing apparel Those will be the colors I will be running in this year and next. It is Fun! But how in the world did I come from a basic white all around running shoe person to a Runner Girl in the wave of multi colors... LOL!

Nothings wrong with that, in case running is still your priority. Sometimes I match, and some days I don't.

Yes, I always go by what work's for my foot's comfort and pronations, if they don't have the right color, that matches my running outfits, then hold off and wait until the shoe brand...Since my foot comfort/pronation needs run in Stability to Stability Cushion all most all the different brands of shoes have Stability, to Stability Cushion, gives me a more variety to choose from.

LOL...no. I would have to buy clothes to match the shoes, because I try to ignore shoe color when buying shoes. They keep bringing out shoes, and I keep running in them until I find the right pair. Then, I look at the color and the price last.

I will color coordinate for certain themed races, otherwise whatever is on top of the pile of running clothes is what I will run in. I have 4 pairs of sneakers so I do have options(Red, White, Blue, Black).

I sometimes do depending on if what matches is clean. I bought shoes that fit my feet well-kinda ugly Brooks Ghosts. Purple and blue. Now I find myself drawn to blue and purple running clothes but I have no problem putting on a completely mis-matched clothes. I also am not the best at caring about matching in regular clothes...I tend to buy clothes in few color groups because of that.

I wear Newtons, so if you have seen them, they are crazy loud color combos. I happen to have brightly colored running gear and at first, I would match them. Now I find it funnier to not match intentionally. So my pink/lime/orange shoes get paired with my purple/blue/yellow gear and my blue/orange/yellow shoes get paired with my pink/lime/orange wear.

I have those Noosa Tri splatter color shoes in 3 different color schemes but I haven't used them to run yet. I plan on just wearing them for casual, not running. Newtons work for me, why change?

Bob, that was after the Tap-n-Run last Summer. Blistering hot day that had us run in the worst heat of the day. I was using the race as a low key come back following my dreadful Spring. I was hurting big time for the 2.67 miles. This was taken on a bench outside of the patio bar for the awards ceremony. Of course, they announced A/G & overall awards last, after all the category awards.

I don't usually match even slightly. My current shoes are black Newtons so they would be ok with a lot of things...I simply don't care. I'm a sweaty mess when I'm done so who cares what color clothes are stuck to me.

I try not to look either as though I'm trying too hard to look smashing, OR like I chose my outfit in the dark. I do try to go for shades of clothes that don't clash with my shoes, IOW. Wow, I'm very impressed that someone has their shoe in multiple "colorways." I just own two pair, in widely different colors from one another. Sometimes I just have to ignore the shoes. I DO try to look coordinated to a degree in my tops and shorts (or capris, in winter)

I love the glitzy shoes but mostly my feet have liked the fairly moderate shoes or shoes that are not made in paint-splatter or cosmic ray
